Hi all! I've been using LinHES on my Asus M2NPV-VM with dual tuner FusionHDTV for years and it's been great with a reasonably high WAF. I upgraded last weekend from 6.0.4 and the remote went wonky. lircd refuses to start. I've tried doing a direct upgrade, a clean install, a clean install and restoring LinHES, and finally decided maybe my dvico receiver went bad so replaced it with a Streamzap. No change, tried reinstalling again, no change. What we see during boot is this:
Code:
:: Starting lirc
./run: line 145: /sbin/splash-functions-*.sh: syntax error: operand expected (error token is "/sbin/splash-functions-*.sh")
./run: line 145: /sbin/splash-functions-*.sh: syntax error: operand expected (error token is "/sbin/splash-functions-*.sh")
The error is repeated half a dozen times and finally we see
Code:
timeout: finish: lircd: (pid 4343) 7s, want down
> lircd is not able to start, disabling it
> lircd is not able to start, disabling it
I have always installed LinHES/Knoppmyth with splash disabled since the motherboard has an nVidia chipset. I have no idea if that is the sort of splash this error refers to.
After extensive use of Google Fu, I thought maybe there was a dev problem and found only /dev/lirc0 existed. I tried creating a symlink /dev/lirc but nothing changed. I've used mode2 to confirm the streamzap receiver does in fact see signals coming in on /dev/lirc0. I am able to start lircd manually from a shell but irw sees nothing then either.
Can somebody with more brains (or experience, or both, whichever is fine) point me in some troubleshooting direction I might have missed? While we can still use the system via keyboard, my WAF is dropping like a stone.
Thanks!!
